Snyder addresses Michigan Rail Summit

This article was about how the governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder, is trying to improve the states transportation services. Nearly 800,000 people choose to travel by Amtrak train last year (I was one of them). Snyder even went on to say that the rail project is vital for the recovery of Michigan's economy. Michigan is also one of the largest urban places in the U.S. to not have a commuter rail system in place as well. Amtrak was also talking about updating its rail system once they have the rights to the rails from the freight companies. They are going to program every crossing differently so that the trains can travel at faster speeds so people can get to there destinations faster.
